dropdeded 0 #1 December 5, 2003 Looking for suggestions from those in the medical field. I have a Taber's Cyclopedic, which is freekin awesome. Now Im interested in finding an anatomy book in the same line as the Tabers as far as being straight forward and very thorough. Im going into EMS if that helps.

Stacy 0 #2 December 5, 2003 Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology by Martini. Mine came with a CD rom, a muscular/skeletal and systems coloring book, and an illustrated dissection guide for cadavers and cats. Very easy to follow and put together reallly well. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tinfoil 0 #4 December 5, 2003 Crap, that the expenside set! Students arn't suppose to have the money to buy that kinda stuff. Martini is an easy read, and there are a few editions in print so you can take your pick. “- - Sumo is the greatest of sports. It has power, grace, speed and cluture.

wildcard451 0 #5 December 5, 2003 Search for Grant's Anatomy or Netters. Grant's was our first year textbook for gross anatomy, but Netters has very nice illustrations in it as well. /Brandon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #6 December 5, 2003 I have this great CD-Rom called '3-D Body' and you get to play like you're an ER doctor and you have to kill the little virus germ-things before they over-run the patient with gangrene (sp??) and the patient dies. THAT is cool! Ok, I've had a lil' to drink tonight... but I could ask my hubby. He actually cared about that stuff once. He's an EMT. I'll get back to you....well, maybe not tonight, but tomorrow...or certainly the day after...~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

Dagny 0 #7 December 5, 2003 If you are looking for just a textbook of anatomy, I'd have to also recommend Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy. It's a great book with structures clearly marked and labeled in color. But, I'd also like to suggest Rohen's Color Atlas of Anatomy. Frankly, I thought this book absolutely rocked. These are pictures of actual anatomical structures dissected on a real cadaver. It wasn't as helpful for gross anatomy as I hoped, though, as Rohen and his team are clearly gods wielding scalpels and their skills are unmatched by the first year medical student. Meaning: their pictures looked so much better than my cadaver EVER looked! Both Rohen and Netter offer excellent anatomy books which are going to provide you with far more detail than you will need for EMS, but they are great for reference. You can't go wrong with either.

wildcard451 0 #8 December 5, 2003 And the most depressing thing was when you spent an hour trying to find a structure, being as careful as possible, then the prof comes over, takes the blunt end of a pair of tweezers, and finds it perfectly in 30 seconds..... /Brandon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropdeded 0 #9 December 5, 2003 So far the Netters seems to have better online reveiws. Im just a got to see it kinda student, so the price is worth it if it helps, and its something I can refer to as I progress.

ripper0289 0 #10 December 5, 2003 Gray's Anatomy, it's a classic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #11 December 5, 2003 hey, it was pricey but it was a great set to have. I'd much rather hunt through the cadaver book than the actual cadaver. ugh. made finding the real stuff a lot easier. and i DID Love the coloring book. helped me learn a lot, esp those little muscles and tendons taht *disappear* on the models. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dagny 0 #12 December 5, 2003 Oh, god...so true. How many times did my partners and I sit there staring down some section of the body looking for some nerve which we just KNEW we must have cut, then the prof comes over and does that very thing just to find it under a little fascia. One time, we were dissecting and the prof was helping us using just his hands and the blunt end of the scissors. The lights went out for about 30 seconds, come back on, and he's still working. Never stopped and still found all the structures we needed! Dropdeded - Gray's is a classic, but stay away from it unless you get one for free. It's useless for your needs. Netters is very popular, you can't go wrong with it. Grants is another very good anatomy book, but wasn't my favorite in comparison to Rohen and Netter. Netter is illustrated, rather than actual pictures, but it is invaluable. (And, of course, I just loved Rohen because it was so cool and the pictures are amazing) Netter was the most often used book in my school.Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
